Christopher Columbus and A Federal Holiday

How Did We Get Here? with LMF by Lisa, Megan, and Fulvia

Episode notes

"How can you discover a country when there are already people there?!"

In this episode, Lisa, Megan, and Fulvia explore Columbus Day. As early as the 1960s, people, especially Native Americans, have been protesting against a federal holiday honoring a man who brutalized Native Americans in his pursuit of "discovering" America. Additionally, they address the discussion around changing the name for the holiday to Indigenous Peoples' Day.
